Christopher Paolini has stated before that he intends to write more stories taking place in Alagaësia, and the next one is “Book V.” From what I’ve heard, Book V won’t actually be part of the Inheritance Cycle, but rather a standalone novel and will take place after the events in Inheritance. Here are my predictions for what will happen in “Book V.” The Story Won’t Be Focused on Eragon & Saphira Eragon and Saphira left Alagaësia, so if we do hear from them, it will be short moments, likely through scrying.
